A crucifix is partially obscured by a green curtain in the upper left of this painting. Stephen Greenblatt has argued that the fact that three different times are indicated by a polyhedral sundial in it, a physical impossibility which suggests the artist's attempt to "unsettle reality." A small silver skull appears on a brooch on the slanted cap of Jean de Dinteville, the figure on the left of this painting, perhaps mirroring the memento mori of the anamorphic image of a skull appearing at its bottom.. Depicting Dinteville and Georges de Selve in front of a collection of items showing their worldliness is, FTP, what painting by Hans Holbein the Younger?
